The link takes you to the Citibank website with a little box for you to stupidly enter your card and pin #. Of course, the brilliant mind that thought up this little phishing scheme forgot to ensure that the box only accepts numeric characters. So I sent him a few four-letter "card numbers" before closing it out. I was told that my email address was "successful verified."



I never said I was mature. . .
